Giving with impact
A lasting gift for your team or partners: a piece of protected wilderness
The gift that makes a difference
Every year, companies are faced with the question of the right corporate gift: gift baskets, red wine and chocolates quickly seem superficial and outdated. How about a new corporate gift in 2025 that really has value? Many companies would now prefer to launch meaningful Christmas campaigns, take responsibility and protect nature sustainably. Are you one of them?
Give the gift of impact instead of symbolism and join us this year in protecting endangered nature forever! On this page, we have put together some inspiration for your Christmas donations, employee gifts and customer gifts - as well as ideas for communicating your commitment.

Christmas campaign with real impact
Would you like to link your commitment to nature with your products and, for example, "enclose" 1 m2 of rainforest with every order in December? Or do you simply want to say "thank you" to your newsletter subscribers at the end of the year? We have great solutions, including, for example, digital codes that you can send out and the recipients can redeem for rainforest with us!
Doubling community donations
Become true impact heroes at Christmas time and double the donations of the Wilderness Community up to a total amount determined by you. So you turn 5 m2 = 10 m2, 10 m2 = 20 m2 and so on!
Last minute: when things have to be quick
You can personalize our donation certificates yourself and you will receive them as a PDF by e-mail within a few minutes of your donation.
The perfect gift for remote workers
Give your home office employees a sense of purpose, impact and appreciation with a real connection to nature - without any logistical stress.
The green icebreaker in business relationships
You and your customers share common values - and possibly soon your forest. This connects you on a deeper and more emotional level.

About Wilderness International
The foundation, based in Peru, Canada and Germany, purchases legally secure wilderness areas and protects them for all futures. The purchases are refinanced by donations that ensure the long-term protection of the areas and enable environmental education projects and research on CO2 storage and biodiversity.
You as the donor will receive the donation receipt. We will send all information and files to you.
There are no further obligations for you. The donation is one-time, and enables us as a foundation to ensure the long-term protection of the area. The sponsorship is a symbolic one. The forest area remains the property of the Foundation.
In Canada, good legal security helps us, as well as the legal situations and sanctions that even prohibit trespassing.
In Peru, we have additionally started a forest guardian program with local people. To ensure long-term protection, we also have several other measures in place. In general, we visit the areas on regular expeditions to check on them. We also work with local partners who inform us of any irregularities if necessary. The donations per square meter also already include the costs for property taxes.
Like no other, the legal form of the foundation allows a (charitable) purpose to be realized permanently and independently of outside interests, thus achieving the desired effects in the long term. It is thus the most long-term organizational construct currently known. Not even states, companies or national parks are designed for such a long term. This makes the foundation the only one that is oriented toward the lifespan of the ecosystems we protect.
In Peru, for example, we work intensively with local people as part of our forest guardian program. They regularly walk the protected areas and represent our organization in the community. They put up signs, talk to local people about our forest protection projects and confront unauthorized activities if necessary. Thereby, the forest guardians also generate a sustainable income.
In Canada, we not only work with partner companies, but also look back on great collaborations with First Nations. These include a sponsored run and several conservation expeditions with the Cowichan First Nation of Vancouver Island, as well as the joint effort to protect the Peel River Watershed with the Gwich'in of Fort McPherson.
